CURTAIN-P9113 1,192,6ill5.

Application filed December 1, 1915.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GISELLA FiiBniN, a subject of the King of Hungary, residing at lVashington, in the county oi lVashington and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Poles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in curtain poles.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a curtain pole having a ready means for attaching the curtain thereto without folding the same over the pole and holding the curtain in proper suspension without mutilating the curtain.

A further object of the device is the provision of a curtain pole adapted to be sup ported adjacent a window and having a re silient binder readily attached for securing the curtain with a portion thereof depressed within the pole structure.

A further object is to provide a curtain pole having a receiving socket and a binder for the curtain positioned within the said socket and removably retaining the curtain in its operative position upon the pole in such a manner as to prevent any injury or soiling of the curtain.

With these general objects in view and others that will appear as the nature, of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the acompanying drawings, and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this application and in which like-designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views :-Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a window showing the present form of pole in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view through the pole detached. Fig. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view through an end of the pole with the curtain positioned thereon and taken on line III-III of Fig. 41. Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view of Fig. 3, and, Fig. 5 is a side elevation of aslightly diflerent form of bracket employed with the device.

Referring more in detail to the drawings, the present invention in curtain poles is herein illustrated in connection with a window casing 10 having oppositely arranged mount- Specification of Letters Patent.

ing brackets 11 positioned thereon and adjacent the top thereof, only one of the said brackets being herein illustrated.

Each of the brackets 11 is provided with a lug 12 adapted for supporting a shade roller 13, while a curved arm 14 is also carried by each of the said brackets for removably seating therein, the present form of curtain pole 15.

The pole 15 is of general cylindrical form having a longitudinally arranged side-receiving groove 16 the bottom 17 of which is arcuate or in the form of a curve. A. plurality of. sharpened pins 18 project out wardly from the slot bottom 17, while a coil spring or binder 19 is pivotally carried in one end of the groove 16 as at 20 and has a hook 21 at its free end adapted to engage over a post 22 arranged at the opposite end of the groove.

It being understood that the post 22 and the pivotal end 20 of the spring are arranged a distance from the bottom 17 corresponding substantially with the diameter of the spring 19, so that by positioning the curtain 23 over the spring 19, the said spring may be extended or drawn out so as to allow the hook 21 to be engaged over the post 22 and with the pins 18 projected through the curtain 28 and extending between heliXes of the spring with the curvature of the latter substantially uniform, the same being best illustrated in its operative position in Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawings. The post 22 heretofore mentioned spans and connects the opposite sides of the groove 16, while it will be seen that the bottom 17 of the said groove is of transverse curvature of greater diameter than and substantially concentric with the binder 19 when the latter is positioned in the groove as best illustrated in Fig. d of the drawings.

It will thus be understood that the curtain 23 is readily attached to the pole 15 by means of the binder 19, the same being readily removable therefrom by releasing the hook 21 from the post 22 while the pins 18 which extend substantially to the axis of the binder 19 prevent the curtain from slipping relatively of the pole, although not injuring the curtain.

In Fig. i, a form of bracket is provided consisting of a plate 11 having a lug 12,

acting as a shade roller support and also having an arm 14: for receiving a curtain pole,

While the form of the invention herein shown and described is what is believed to be the preferred embodiment thereof, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

What I claim as new is 1. A curtain fixture comprising a pole having a longitudinal groove in one side, the bottom of said groove being curved longitudinally of the pole, the groove gradually increasing in depth from the middle of its length to the ends thereof, and a helical spring pivoted within the groove at one end thereof and having its other end removably attached within the opposite end of the groove.

2. A curtain pole of concentric form provided'with a longitudinal side groove having a curved bottom, outwardly projecting receiving pins carried by the said bottom, a'helical spring having one end thereof pivoted within one end of the said groove and its other end removably attached within the opposite end of the said groove whenthe spring is in its operative expanded position with said pins arranged within the body of the said spring.

8. A curtain pole of concentric form provided with a longitudinal side groove having a curved bottom, outwardly projecting receiving pins carried by the said bottom, a

helical binder having one end thereof piv- Copies of this patent may be obtained for oted within one end of the said groove, a curtain folded over the said binder, a post arranged within the opposite end of the said groove, and a hook upon the opposite end of the said binder removably positioned over the said post with the said pins projecting through the curtain and extending between the helixes of the binder Within the body of the latter to substantially its longitudinal axis.

4. A curtain pole of concentric form provided with a longitudinal side groove having a curved bottom, outwardly projecting receiving pins carried by the said bottom, a helical binder having one end thereof pivoted within one end of the said groove, a curtain folded over the said binder, a post arranged within the opposite end of the said groove, and a hook upon the opposite end of the said binder removably positioned over the said post with the said pins projecting through the curtain and extending between the helixes of the binder within the body of the latter to substantially its longitudinal axis, the pivotal end and the said hook of the binder being positioned from the bottom of the groove a distance equal to the radius of the said binder and whereby the binder assumes a uniform curvature when operatively positioned with the curtain arranged within the said groove.

In tes imony whereof I aflix my signature.
